**Introduction to The Most EXTREME & INTENSE Way to Make Profits in Crypto: **

.
The crypto world rewards creativity and risk-takers, but some strategies seem almost too insane to believe.

What if you could set your own prices and rake in massive profits without competition? In this guide, I’ll walk you through an outrageous, devilishly clever way to exploit empty trading pairs.

This tutorial will be on the Bitshares platform—using the tokens BULLION and CURRENCY as prime examples but this same exploit can be used anywhere and on other blockchains.

By placing strategic orders with astronomical exchange rates, I’ve set myself up for insane profit potential, all thanks to the lack of activity in these trading pairs. Let’s dive in.


Step 1: Understanding the Opportunity

.
On decentralized platforms like Bitshares, trading pairs like BULLION/CURRENCY often have little or zero activity in their order books or atleast for now still have a large potential profit gap / spread.

This means there’s no competition to dictate a fair market price, leaving you free to set your own rates.

  • Current Market Prices (USD):
    • BULLION: ~$1.727e-8
    • CURRENCY: ~$6.08e-8
      .
    • True Exchange Rate: 1 CURRENCY ≈ 3.1 BULLION

However, with no orders in the book, these prices are theoretical. This creates a golden opportunity to exploit the market by setting your own, vastly inflated rates.


Step 2: Setting the Exploitative Trades

Here’s how I’ve set up my trades:

  1. Order 1 https://bts.exchange/#/market/BULLION_CURRENCY
    Selling 1,000 BULLION for 1,000,000 CURRENCY
    • Exchange Rate: 1 BULLION = 1,000 CURRENCY

  1. Order 2
    https://bts.exchange/#/market/CURRENCY_BULLION
    Selling 1,000 CURRENCY for 1,000,000 BULLION
    • Exchange Rate: 1 CURRENCY = 1,000 BULLION

These orders are strategically designed to exploit any unsuspecting buyer who miscalculates the real exchange rate or simply accepts the listed price without doing research.

🔲 THAT'S IT, YOUR ALL SET FOR SPECTACULAR GAINS! 👌

Breaking Down the Math

To understand the potential profit, consider the true market value:

  • Real Exchange Rate: 1 CURRENCY ≈ 3.1 BULLION
  • Exploit Rates:
    • 1 BULLION = 1,000 CURRENCY (instead of 0.322 CURRENCY)
    • 1 CURRENCY = 1,000 BULLION (instead of 3.1 BULLION)

This means a buyer paying my rates would overpay by ~3,000x to 1,000,000x the fair market value. Even if only one of these trades executes, the profit potential is astronomical.

The "Closing the Gap" and Staying Competitive

.
Once your exploitative trades are live, the order book starts to evolve. If other traders place competing orders to undercut your prices.

This creates what’s known as a “closing gap,” where competing orders progressively narrow the difference between inflated and realistic rates.

To show how this "Closing Gap" works, I’ve placed additional orders at slightly lower rates,
using 999,999 / 1000 instead of 1,000,000 / 1000 trade examples :

Mathematics of the Closing Gap

Let’s break down the numbers to understand why this strategy eventually leads to diminishing profits:

  1. True Exchange Rate:
    • 1 CURRENCY ≈ 3.1 BULLION
      .
  2. Exploit Rate (Initial Orders):
    • 1 BULLION = 1,000 CURRENCY
    • 1 CURRENCY = 1,000 BULLION
    • Profit Margin: ~322x (BULLION to CURRENCY) and ~323x (CURRENCY to BULLION)
      .
  3. Exploit Rate (Follow-Up "Closing Gap" Orders):
    • 1 BULLION = 999.999 CURRENCY
    • 1 CURRENCY = 999.999 BULLION
    • Profit Margin: Slightly reduced but still astronomical (~322x).

As the order book fills with competing offers, the gap between inflated and realistic rates will shrink, gradually diminishing profits. For example, if another trader places an order at:

  • 1,000 BULLION for 500,000 CURRENCY, the profit margin halves.

If this trend continues, the inflated rates eventually align closer to the true exchange rate, drastically reducing the effectiveness of the exploit.
As the order book grows more populated, each new competing order eats away at the inflated profit margins, showcasing the inherent limitations of this strategy over time.

Step 5: Replicating the Strategy

To try this method for yourself:

  1. Identify Illiquid Trading Pairs: Look for pairs like BULLION/CURRENCY with no active orders or low activity.
  2. Set High Exchange Rates: Place orders with inflated prices, ensuring you dominate the order book.
  3. Monitor Activity: Watch for competition and adjust your prices to stay competitive while maintaining a profit margin.
  4. Spread Awareness: By sharing this method, you can generate buzz and potentially attract buyers to your trading pairs.

Risks and Ethical Considerations

While this method is incredibly profitable, it isn’t without its risks:

  • No Guarantees: There’s no assurance someone will accept your inflated prices.
  • Ethical Dilemmas: Critics might argue this strategy exploits uninformed or careless traders, which could harm your reputation in the community.

However, in the decentralized world of crypto, the mantra is clear: “Buyer beware.” If someone fails to verify the true market rate, the opportunity is yours to seize.


Conclusion: Are You Ready to Exploit the Market?

The crypto market is a playground for innovation—and opportunism. By exploiting empty trading pairs like BULLION/CURRENCY, you can set your own prices and rake in massive profits. Whether you see this as a clever hustle or a devilish scheme, one thing is clear: in crypto, the prepared always win. Are you ready to take the plunge and test this insane strategy for yourself?
